 AB    HIV infection transmitted from a patient to a surgeon is a real concern
       but a remote possibility. However, given the professional and personal
       impact of HIV seroconversion on a physician, preventive measures need to
       be instituted. The CDC has developed a policy of universal precautions
       to help to minimize this risk. We review various measures to institute
       this policy and other measures that can reduce exposure to HIV. These
       protocols, when instituted, can maximize safety for all health care
       professionals and their patients.
